Can I convert App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2?
by Shlomi Fish 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi all, Is there a good reason why I should *not* convert https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Notifier::Service from Dancer 1 to Dancer2? It's a simple web app, meant to run synchronously, and I can debug it by using perl -d, and last time I tried doing s/Dancer/Dancer2/g everything worked nicely. Is there a good enough reason to stay with Dancer 1?

UTF-8 in form POST
by Warren Young 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

I'm getting data corruption when a UTF-8 encoded web page sends form data back to Dancer via POST. As far as I can tell, the browser is doing the right thing and submitting the data as UTF-8 -- verified with Firebug -- but when I try to retrieve the data with param(), Dancer treats it as something else. To see this, say "dancer -a utf8form" and edit two of the files: 1. Replace the contents of utf8form/views/index.tt with: <form method="post" action="/submit"> <input name="field" type="text"/> </form> 2. Add a POST handler route to utf8form/lib/utf8form.pm: post '/submit' => sub { debug "Got '", param('field'), "' from form."; }; Since my terminal uses UTF-8 and default Dancer apps have UTF-8 in config.yml and the generated HTML templates, the debug() call shouldn't need any special help, IMO. Try submitting "Español", for example.

How to keep Dancer2::Session::Cookie after browser session ends?
by Pavel Denisov 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi! I use Dancer2::Session::Cookie and am trying to implement "Remember me" option for user login. I understand that I need to set 'expires' to some future date for session cookie, but how do I do it in Dancer? 'cookie_duration' configuration parameter makes this, but it is read-only and I can not change it depending on user input.

Problem using jquery UI in Dancer
by Sullivan Beck 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

I've using Dancer 1.3115 on OpenSuSE 13.1. I've downloaded jquery 1.11.1 and the datepick plugin from http://keith-wood.name/datepick.html. I took the simplest test script from the datepick home page (and stripped it down to a single popup calendar -- that's the functionality I want) and put it in a very simple Dancer script. Unfortunately, although the HTML produced is correct, the Dancer script isn't working. When I run the dancer script and point my browser at it, I see a text box asking for a date. If I click in the box, no calendar pops up to select the date. If I view the page source and copy the html into a dancer2.html file and open that file up in my browser and it works great. I see the same page, and clicking in the box pops up the calendar. I'm a fairly recent user of Dancer, but I'm really liking it and want to use it for a project but I really need the datepicker to work. Any suggestions? I'm attaching the dancer2.pl script and the HTML it generates. My setup is that I have dancer2.pl and dancer2.html in a directory and a subdirectory jquery containing both jquery and the datepicker plugin (both completely unmodified).

Dancer2::Plugin::REST breaks tests
by Cymon 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, i know there's already an issue open on CPAN RT about this problem, but are there news about a new release of the package? I spent some time looking into the problem, first fail should depends by the before hook in Dancer2::Core::Response. Comments here say that "All serializers return byte strings". I'm a bit curious about this... why was implemented this way considering that Serializer are something like YAML and JSON? Second problem is just about new Dancer2 server (I solved something similar here: http://perlishscrewdriver.blogspot.it/2014/05/all-releases-come-with-bug.ht…) -- Cymon Coniglio domina, http://www.therabbit.it

Strehler CMS on the dancing floor
by Cymon 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Well, I think it's time to do something like an "official" annuncement about Strehler, my little CMS based on Dancer2. You can find it here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Strehler/ While the raw code is here: https://github.com/cym0n/strehler I released it on CPAN many weeks ago, the 1.1.0 version, but I think i can consider it "mature" only now, with 1.1.10. (where mature means: all the bugs are hiding very well from me). I'd love someone to try it and give me feedbacks about, I know there's still a lot of work to do (and i'm already working on new features) but a second sight on the product will be very useful to improve it! Enjoy! -- Cymon http://perlishscrewdriver.blogspot.com
